Plug the receiver's power cord into the outlet. POWER lights. The transmitter and receiver are equipped with two selectable operation channels and two selectable digital codes, to ensure positive operation and prevent interference from similar products nearby. Select the same channel and code number for both the transmitter and the receiver. Installing the Transmitter's Batteries The transmitter uses four AA batteries (not supplied) for power. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries. To set the channel, slide CHANNEL A/B on the side of the receiver to A or B, then set the transmitter’s channel switch (shown here) to the same setting. Channel Cautions: Code • Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type. • Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities. Follow these steps to install batteries. Note: If the door chime occasionally sounds without anyone pressing BELL on the transmitter, change the channel settings. To set the code, remove the battery compartment cover and slide CODE to either 1 or 2 on the receiver, then set the transmitter’s code switch to the same setting. 1. Use a flat blade screwdriver to loosen the screw in the transmitter’s battery compartment cover, then lift the cover off. 2 63-984.fm Page 3 Wednesday, September 8, 1999 4:42 PM 2. Place the batteries into the battery compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside. BELL on the transmitter. The chime should sound. BELL 3. Be sure the rubber seal around the battery compartment is properly positioned, then replace the cover and tighten the screw. Replace all four batteries if the transmitter’s indicator lights dimly or not at all when you press any button on the transmitter. 2. If the chime does not sound, make certain that the transmitter and receiver are set to the same channel and code. Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them. 3. Adjust VOLUME on the receiver to the desired listening level. Mounting the Transmitter Caution: If you do not plan to use the door chime for a two week period, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts. Mount the transmitter within 50 feet of the receiver using the supplied mounting hardware. Depending upon the mounting surface material of your home (wood siding, brick face, and so on), you might need to consult your local hardware store for a different type of mounting hardware. Testing the Chime Before permanently mounting the chime, follow these steps to test the system Note: While the transmitter is waterresistant, it is not waterproof. If you are mounting the transmitter outdoors, select a location that provides some shielding from the elements. 1. With the receiver plugged into a standard AC outlet, adjust VOLUME to its middle position. Then press Follow these steps to mount the transmitter. 1. Drill four 3/16-inch diameter holes into the mounting surface (as shown be- 3 63-984.fm Page 4 Wednesday, September 8, 1999 4:42 PM 4. Once the transmitter is securely on the bracket, insert the two supplied pan-head machine screws through the two holes on the lower edge of the transmitter and into the threaded holes in the bracket. low). Then insert an anchor into each hole. 3/16 Inch Diameter Hole 50mm 85mm 2. Align the metal mounting bracket with the holes you just drilled and drive a screw through the bracket into each hole. Do not overtighten the screws. Mounting the Receiver To mount the receiver onto a typical sheetrock wall, use the two supplied pan washer screws and anchors. Otherwise, consult your local hardware store for suitable hardware. 1. Drill two 3/16-inch diameter holes into the mounting surface about 43/16 inches (106 mm) apart 3. Align the slot on the back of the transmitter with the hook on the mounting bracket. Carefully push the transmitter onto the hook and slide it down to secure it. 2. Insert an anchor into each drilled hole, then thread a screw into each anchor, letting the head of each screw extend about 1/8 inch from the wall. 1/8 4 Inch 63-984.fm Page 5 Wednesday, September 8, 1999 4:42 PM CARE 3. Route the AC power cord beneath the tabs on either side of the channel on the back of the receiver To use your RadioShack Wireless Intercom Door Chime system for a long time: 4. Align the receiver's keyhole slots with the screw heads and slide the receiver down to secure it. • Keep the system dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. • Use and store the system only in normal temperature environments. OPERATION • Handle the system gently and carefully. Do not drop either component. Your caller presses BELL on the door transmitter to sound the receiver’s chime. • Keep the system away from dust and dirt, and wipe the system with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Note: If the chime sounds when the transmitter's button is not pressed, change the channel settings on both the receiver and transmitter. Modifying or tampering with the system’s internal components can cause a malfunction and invalidate its warranty. If your system is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance. Hold down TALK on the receiver (the red indicator lights) and speak in a normal tone into the transmitter’s microphone from about 2–3 inches away. When you release TALK, the caller can reply by holding down TALK on the transmitter. THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW Notes: Your chime system might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating properly. To determine whether the system is causing the interference, remove the transmitter’s battery or unplug the receiver from AC power. If the interference goes away, the transmitter or the receiver is causing the interference. Try to eliminate the interference by moving the TV or radio away from the transmitter or contacting your local RadioShack store for help. If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop using the system. • The receiver and transmitter automatically turn off if no one presses a button within about 30 seconds. Pressing any button on either unit turns on the power again. • If the temperature approaches the lower end of the intercom’s operating range (around 0°F), you might notice some sound distortion. This is not a malfunction. • A wireless telephone operating at 49MHz can interfere with the system. 5 63-984.fm Page 6 Wednesday, September 8, 1999 4:42 PM Dimensions (HWD): Changes or modifications to this product not expressly approved by RadioShack, or operation of this product in any way other than as detailed by this Owner’s Manual, could void your authority to operate the product. 67/16 × 37/16 × 17/16 in (163 × 88 × 36 mm) Weight .............................................. 77/16 oz (210 g) RECEIVER Channel Frequency: Channel A ........................... 49.860 MHz Channel B ........................... 49.890 MHz SPECIFICATIONS TRANSMITTER Operating Temperature Range: 32° to 109.4°F (0° to 43°C) Operating Voltage ..............................
